LANGUAGE AS A TOOL OF RUSSIAN MANIPULATIVE PROPAGANDA
The article explores the role of language as a tool of modern Russian manipulative propaganda. It establishes that the language utilized by totalitarian regimes to shape an alternative reality is referred to as “Newspeak”, a term inspired by George Orwell’s novel “1984”. This artificial language serves the totalitarian system by creating a fabricated reality that benefits the propagandist. Modern Russian Newspeak is not a novel concept; while Orwell coined the term, the underlying idea predates him.
